I'm working on a new chapter, maybe 1/4 done at the moment, which I really want to get done before Christmas. I realise this only leaves me two days, but this one's practically writing itself so I think I can get it done in time. If it's not ready, I'm not going to just post it anyway, but an update tomorrow is the aim so I'll try and work towards that. This isn't quite as arbitrary a deadline as it might seem, by the way: I said in a reply to a comment last chapter that I'd try to get a new

Just an FYI for those who might not have gotten/noticed the new chapter notification: the chapter is up at last, and I hope you enjoy!

So next chapter is pretty much fully written. I just need to edit it now and get it polished to the proper level of quality, then we'll be back in business. I'm going to leave it alone until I've had some sleep, but it's looking like I'll have an update for you sometime tomorrow. Thanks for being patient with me; I'm really looking forward to bringing you this one.

See you all soon!

My health has taken a real turn for the worst recently (one episode last week was so bad that at the time I thought I was having a heart attack) and I'm still far from 100%, so progress has been slow, but I have been making progress. It helps to put my mind to something other than worrying about my current condition, and so far writing Collapse, Collide has been the most helpful of all my distractions. I think that might be because I'm actually doing something productive rather than just

So that Thursday update never happened. I really wanted to get the chapter done, but I've had a few things come up IRL - assignments for Uni, and some fairly serious medical issues - that did a big job of taking all my time away.

I'm about halfway through the next chapter, and at this point I think I'll probably be able to finish and upload in time for Thursday. I'm really looking forwards to bringing you this next update, since it's been so long and the new chapter deals with some interesting stuff. I'm delving into Auburn's psychology a little in this next chapter, trying to explain why she did what she did and how she ticks. I never meant for her character to be so complex, but that's just how these things go

I've been busy lately, so it took me longer than I'd hoped to get a solid plan for where the story's going, but I'm there now and I've been writing again, working on the next chapter.

I've just posted a blog post cancelling my other story, for the same reasons that have left Collapse Collide without updates or word from me for months. The balance of my life has changed dramatically, to the point where I am a lot more tired, with a lot less free time, than I was before this summer. Trying to get things in order has taken months, but I feel like I'm at a point where I can accurately plan for the future and think about more than getting some sanity back into my daily routine.

I'd like to begin by apologising to all of you for breaking my long silence with such a disappointing message, and especially to D48, who has spent months going over plans and drafts for the second version with me. I've promised a lot and delivered very little, and I'm very sorry for that.

As I think I mentioned before, I will be on holiday from tomorrow until next Saturday, and will most likely not be back to work until at least that Sunday. As things are, I think I can manage an update for the Thursday of the week following that Sunday, but until then there will be a gap in updates. This, I realise, is not what I had told you would happen - in fact, it is almost the opposite of what I'd said.
